Oleg Korniev, a 42-year-old Ukrainian-Russian dual citizen, pleaded guilty to running Your Mule Cashout (YMCO), a money laundering operation active since 2007 that recruited over 15,000 U.S. money mules. He admitted to money laundering, aggravated identity theft, and multiple conspiracy charges tied to processing more than $10 million stolen from over 750 U.S. bank accounts across 35 banks. Four other YMCO members were previously extradited and sentenced to 37-63 months in prison, each ordered to pay over $9.1 million in restitution.
